Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I would care, except the muskmelons said that empathy is a sin
We did it Lemmy
We did it, Reddit
He should just focus on making rockets fly and cars self-drive.
Too late. We’re coming for you Elon
I don't think he will. I think he's trying to get people to sympathize with him.

He has already hobbled the organizations that oversee his companies/interests/etc. He can say whatever he wants but for all we know this is just a planned exit.
I'll be glad if he does step down but he has already caused unrepairable damage.
Not going to change my mind. He’s for Donald.. I’m against him.
Good. It's working. Also you're not "in politics" you pathetic little bitch. You're just fucking around ruining peoples lifes so you can get some selfies in the Whitehouse and try to make your life even easier than it already is.
Important to point out: It's working. Keep it up.
Holy shit, I didn't think the bullying campaign would acturally work. This is a grand victory for all workers of the world and a sign of whats to come. When all the workers of the world unite we can overcome the iron hand and destroy any fascist.
NEVER BACK DOWN FOR THEY ARE WEAK AND WE THE WORKERS ARE STRONG
Make bullying great again
Bye, crybaby bitch.
Excellent, please do, Elon. Arguably he has never been in politics, he just bought off Trump to get a job.
Aww little pissbaby snowflake getting sad? Did the meanie weenie wittle lefties hurt your wittle baby feelers? Wittle baby bitch sad he lost millions over a state court election and tesla stocks? Do you need your wittle tesla robot to give you your bottle? Did daddy trump not give you ice cream to make you feel better? Maybe get out of our government you unelected fascist fuck, go take a ride on your spacex rocket and hope your overworked and underpaid engineers put all the bolts in the ship
We hate you.
This cunt must be dealt with by the public.
As the great Philosopher and Entrepreneur Craig Jones would say "Bye Felicia."
This better not be like the time he said he was gonna step down from running Twitter and then he didnt. He better follow through on his promise. And take his tech bros trying to shut everything down with him.
Must be nice just dropping (what he claims is) important work on the ground when you need a nap.
He's really demonstrating his famous work ethic. Maybe that sleeping on the factory floor legend was not about work ethic but about spontaneous napping when he feels a tantrum coming on.
No one gonna mention that his contract was for a set time and he has to leave?
Tesla earnings call, tomorrow. That's the only reason he's saying that right now.
